Wed | Nov 20 | Space-Age Textiles: Innovations for Astronauts and Earthlings
The extreme conditions of space—from severe temperature fluctuations to zero gravity—pose unique challenges for material developers. Cutting-edge research is driving innovations like advanced thermal insulation to protect equipment and smart materials to enhance comfort and monitor physiological health. Join Columbia’s VP of Innovation, NASA's Senior Subject Matter Expert and Hohenstein’s Senior Scientific Expert to explore how these technologies have vital applications in space as well as on earth.
Thur | Nov 21 | Combatting Microfiber Pollution: Measuring and Mitigating Fiber Shedding
With over half a billion tons of textile microfibers entering our waterways annually, reduction is critical. Accurate measurement is the first step. Dr. Jan Beringer will introduce the methods for quantifying fiber release and assessing its environmental impact. Highlighting practical solutions, Under Armour will present an innovative test kit, designed to empower textile companies to choose or develop materials that significantly reduce microfiber pollution.
